How Do They Notify Me Next?

[Boro]

Hi all,

Filed my paperwork July 1, got my C & P exam Sept 1. I know, and the examiner confirmed that I will get service connected disability for my prostate cancer residuals.

When they have finally figured out the amount, how am I finally notified? Does it just show up in my bank account one day? Or do I get a packet of paper that explains the compensation amount, and then wait another couple months?

Appreciate any info from anyone who has successfully been through the entire process.

The CUE claim I posted in Claims Research today shows how they rate prostate cancer and its residuals and it also shows they make MISTAKES in claims that involve AO and Nehmer.

Well, since my C & P exam was scheduled so quickly I thought things would continue moving along. As usual I was wrong. A month ago I received a letter from the VA on my claim asking for something they already had. Plus, they apparently don't even read the VCAA Notice form I signed. Which told them to process my claim with the evidence they had on hand, and that I had nothing else. Like most people these days, if there's writing on a piece of paper longer than a sentence they won't take the time to read it thoroughly. Anyhow, I gave them what they wanted (which they already had), sent another VCAA Notice, and that has been a month now. So, now I'm playing the waiting game again. Might just call my Service Officer and ask him to make an inquiry. Maybe expecting this to be completed in 4 months is just too much to ask.
